Thinking of the people of Orlando this morning and their resilient
spirit after the heartbreaking events of the weekend. I ran across this
peaceful piece of music this morning while looking for something else.
It's so peaceful, I just have to share it. Hugs!

Thank you - I was going to post about flag day and was going to post a series of flags - including the one in the Smithsonian that hung over the hole in the Pentagon on 9/11 - and found this video I had posted in 2011, ten years after. Very soothing and comforting, I think.

Thank you. All we can do is to be peaceful, calm, and truthful ourselves, I guess. It's what we do.

So beautiful... There is still beauty in the world, even in the face of such horrific evil. When confronted with evil (and even in day to day life), we stand united, no matter our race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Masked by the fact this happened in a gay bar we seem to lose sight of the fact that this was an attack on Americans on U.S. soil representing ALL Americans. Thanks Lynn for the thoughtful Memorial hymn.

About Me

I love looking for goodness, beauty, quirkiness and the unexpected in life.
Favorite quote: from author Barbara Pym’s “Less Than Angels” (1955), the protagonist, Catherine Oliphant, reflects that “the smallest things were often so much bigger than the great things … the trivial pleasures like cooking, one’s home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard.”
